This is a nice colorful way to dress up an otherwise ordinary bowl of cooked carrots. I used a sweet Vidalia onion and I had a half of red and green pepper in the freezer so that is what I cut up. Your ingredient list calls for green but then the directions asks for red pepper, so I thought I could not go wrong using half and half. I skipped the olives as I did not wan a whole jar sitting around. But I know I would have liked them in this dish. I adopted this chef for the *Spring PAC 2008* game
